THE SUN newspaper has taken out a full-page advertisement in an English-language newspaper in Argentina, carrying an open letter to the country’s president asking her to drop her country’s claims to control of the Falkland Islands.

The advertisement, which appears in the Buenos Aires Herald, follows the latest diplomatic exchanges between president Christina Fernandez de Kirchner and British prime minister David Cameron over the status of the disputed islands.

The ads follow an open letter written by Fernandez in which she demanded negotiations with Britain, under the terms of a UN resolution from 1965, to come up with a mutually agreeable solution.
